#9 ethernet driver/NAT conflict?
hello
i seem to be experiencing a conflict between the
basilisk ii ethernet driver and the NAT router
module. (and my nic and my PPPoE software?)
i can either use the ethernet driver, or the NAT
router module, but not both. if i want to use the
ethernet, i need to install the driver in my Windows
Network Control Panel and disable the NAT module in
the BasiliskGUI. if i try to use the NAT module while
the Basilisk II ethernet driver is installed, i get a
blue screen while Basilisk is booting.
"a fatal exeption OE has occured at 0028:c15b2651 in
VXD B2ETHER(01) +00001731. the current app will be
terminated ... blah blah."
i'm using win98 (1st ed) with all of the critical
updates installed.
directx 8.1
ie 6
basilisk II v0.8 build 142
geforce II mmx agp w/32 mb ram (manufacturer's
drivers)
realtech rtl8139 ethernet card
700 mhz athlon t-bird
256 mb ram
gigabyte motherboard w/Via chipset
in order to resolve the fact that i can't run both the
basilisk ethernet driver and the NAT module at the
same time, i've tried two other ADSL clients now. i
just wiped my C: drive and after reinstalling windows,
i tried some different ADSL software. MacPoET 2.04
first, and then NTS EnterNet 1.31.
both of the other ADSL software packages got past the
boot point when i tried to start the emulated mac.
(an improvement over RASPPPOE.) each actually allowed
the emulated mac to open a web browser and download
most of a web page. in each case, the mac crashed
before the page was completely loaded and locked up
all operations (both mac and windows)through the nic
although other operations seemed unaffected.
i got a blue screen that mentioned the VDX for the
ethernet card. a reboot of windows was required in
order to restore normal network functionality.
so ... i've still got this problem. i can't install
the basilisk II ethernet drivers in my Network CP and
use the NAT Router module at the same time. it looks
like the issue might be either in how basilisk
interacts with PPPoE ADSL software, or perhaps it just
doesn't like my nic (realtech rtl8139.)
i've tried the three most popular PPPoE packages on
the market, and still have an issue. i have not yet
tried a different nic.
any input, anybody?
